When the world in me collides with the world in you, how do we even relate?
This live workshop series is complete and can now be purchased for the recordings.
The most effective communication, is an art form of the whole being;
body, mind, heart & spirit.
We’ve all experienced how challenging it can be, when differences arise between humans, to articulate and listen from a centred and connected place!
Every human experience you have - emotions, challenges, behavior patterns, painful thoughts, judgements & stories - can be an opportunity to reorient you to your truth and to fill you with renewed life energy… if you know the path.
When another person has a whole world moving through them, a world foreign, confusing, dissonant to yours, there is a way, led by curiosity and a willingness to understand, that leads you to being nourished by the life energy attempting to move through them.
This is a profound and empowering experience.
It is the point where life energy meets life energy and understanding, connection and even co-creation, awakens within the dynamic.
ReSourced Relating is a way of connecting with self and other, which slices straight to truth, evokes compassion and creates profound depths of understanding, human to human.
In this 3-part experiential workshop you will learn and begin to integrate a simple yet intelligent system of the body, heart, mind & spirit which can be applied to enhance communication & connection, in any type of relationship. It is a somatic and energy-based approach to Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Includes:

Now we dance! Authentic expression & empathy are the steps, life energy our music. Practice conversations using these skills, so they land in your body and you have access to them in the big wide world.
Why Jessica as your facilitator?
Jessica’s youth was largely spent suppressing her emotions and her truth, and so finding herself at the age of 32, her first babe who was 2 yrs old, screaming and kicking her away on a hotel room floor was a pivotal moment in her evolution.
For the first time, her daughter didn’t want her. Jessica was heart broken to realise that her presence even seemed to make things worse.
2 years of mothering from an instinctual place which often meant choosing different to the “norm”, Jessica trusted the innate pulse in that moment, telling her that emotions are meant to be felt and acknowledged - yet she had no idea how to do that in a practical and safe way.
A desperate prayer was sent out, a call for “the thing” that would help her to continue to be the mother she knew she came here to be, when she had no idea what to do.
1 year later, in a beautiful series of synchronistic events, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) came into her life.
She instantly knew it was “the thing”.
Embracing the practice not only gave her the skills to be the mother she loved to be, (and how to return to her when she wasn’t), it also brought her the unexpected gift of falling in love with herself.
She became passionate about sharing NVC with parents, couples, individuals and in work places. She was blown away at the number of people who also struggled with accessing and expressing their truth, and deep listening when others are in distress, and the thirst so many shared for a clear path to more connecting communication.
In teaching hundreds of people NVC, she found that while the concepts were relatively easy to grasp, embodying them & accessing them in real life was another story.
She became devoted to finding a way to deliver the practice in a more efficient way - people needed the skills now! - and found that the key was the body.
Her experiences as a former massage therapist & yoga teacher, gave her the know how of bringing mind and body into coherence, and found that those learning NVC through this lens, seemed to integrate the skills and bring them into their relationships, in a more natural way, and at a satisfying rate!
“Empathy is probably the most challenging and life enhancing skill I’ve ever learned. I’m still learning. The beauty of it is - intention is felt. Intention to listen and connect. That’s what matters most.” - Jess
She is the founder and co-leader of Empathy Angels, a team of people trained in NVC who provide free 1:1 empathy sessions to the NZ public.
